This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Proof of Threat
 
ZNet |Iraq | Democrats and WMD:
"'Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real...'

- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), January 23. 2003"


ZNet illustrates why this election is such a heartbreaking affair. Without real election reform, we are faced with a choice between two parties that were both wrong about that threat Saddam posed to America. The reality was, of course, that we had no evidence to confirm that Saddam was re-developing his weapons. We had nothing but speculation and Bush when to war on speculation.

For that he deserves to be booted out. Its one thing to talk tough on speculation, its another to send people to their deaths on a hunch.

The new conventional wisdom pushed by Bush and his posse is that "September 11th changed everything" but when you stop to think about it, the attacks on September 11th did not change the simple fact that you need proof of a threat before you send people to die and before you plunge an entire country into chaos.

I think people are waking up to that fact.
